You definitely don't need 8-10 years or a degree from a particularly prestigious university to achieve this.

Also you can get this pay outside the bay area, still in high cost of living areas, but for that pay it's really not an issue.
> Could we come up with novel things to do with this deep interior space?

A friend of mine had an opportunity to build the house for himself and his family. He architected the house as - mostly - several groups of 3 spaces in each.

One is the living space. It's a cabinet, or a bedroom, or a living room with a sofa. It ought to have windows, furniture, some space to walk in between. Could be several "rooms", even with doors.

Another is the bathroom space. Shower, toilet, bathtub, sink with mirror. Doesn't really need to have windows.

And the third, most interesting, is the storage space. Shelves. Places on the floor to put bulky items, like a big vacuum cleaner. Boxes - conveniently sized, maybe labeled. Places to hang clothes. Space to walk inside, so putting an item or finding and taking one is easy. This space doesn't need to have windows.

The storage space is rather big, because you're supposed to keep all the stuff which clutters the living space there. If the storage is overflowing, well, you really have a problems with too many things, but if not - it's very convenient to use as a buffer for something which becomes unused and inconvenient.

Maybe we can structure those deeper buildings in a similar manner, so that living spaces would have windows, and miscellaneous spaces would not and would use that "depth" for non-living purposes.

OpenAI Is Doomed? – Et Tu, Microsoft?
We used four basic exercises during the first remote interview. Simple things like, "there is a number on each line of this text file. Find the sum of them."

This was an effective method to screen out applicants who didn't have the basic coding skills to align with their stated resume experience. And there were a decent number of these.

We did further development project exercises later in the process that took about 15 hours. We paid the candidates for this time, even those that didn't pass. It was also an effective screening tool.

All our exercises were very "real world." In the candidates own development environment and having been given instructions on how to prepare. They also have access to whatever Internet resources they want while doing the exercises. If they can't do the exercises, they can't do the job.

I know there are mixed opinions on this and I feel for candidates who have to invest a ton of time in exercises like this. But I can't imagine trying to hire without visibility into how they execute relatively basic software development tasks.

I think employers can and should structure the process so the time investment is minimal upfront and only increases as both parties have gotten to know each other and want to proceed.
A bar that's only an elevator ride away sounds pretty sweet.
Setting aside time for relaxation and leisure activities is highly productive, but unfortunately that isn't something that becomes obvious until your work visibly suffers from "all work and no play". The costs of overworking yourself truly are insidious. It really is akin to a rogue wave - you don't know how deep it runs until it finally hits.
That does not say teachers can't keep a library. At most it says that the titles in said library need to be reviewed/approved by the school.

The emphasis on "taking away libraries" appears to be partly politically motivated.

This isn't about censorship per se since we have a baseline expectation of censorship. We already don't allow teachers to stock racist material or porn in classrooms. This new thing seems to that there are LGBT books which veer close to the edge with stuff like explicit sex scenes.

It mentions other "proposed" laws, some of which seemingly setting a lower bar. But "proposed" laws aren't banning libraries now.

In any case, how can this possibly be an important and relevant issue today contributing to an already-observed decline in reading in 9-year olds nationally?

I'm in my 50s and I used to read a lot for pleasure when I was a kid. I still remember reading Lord of the Rings or Watership Down over an entire weekend, with my mom yelling at me to stop reading and eat dinner, etc. Books like To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye changed my life as a youth.

I stopped reading fiction after I graduated college because I simply didn't care anymore, it was like an off switch. Unless it was a computer or finance textbook, I simply didn't care to read. There was a brief hiatus after reading Moneyball and Blind Side which fascinated me for some reason, and I haven't read non-textbooks since then either. I think part of it was that I read so many bad fiction books I didn't want to waste my time taking a chance when I could be programming or learning more directly.
The problem is getting manufacturers to implement the new RAM standard. While the justifications given are great for the consumer, I didn't see any reason for a manufacturer to sign on.

They are going to lose money when people buy new RAM, rather than a whole new laptop. While processor speeds and size haven't plateaued yet, it's going to take a while to develop significant new speed upgrades and in the meantime, the only other upgrade is disk size/long-term storage, which, aside from Apple, they don't totally control.

So, why should they relenquish that to the user?

It's not "teach someone data structures in 1 hour", but teach them the approach needed for that problem in 1 hour.

And it's a pretty insightful comment, because being able to be taught a practically useful algorithm, and use it on a question, in just an hour is a sign of a good candidate. Interviews should often be run just like that.
Agreed! A common ORM pitfall is column rename which often doesn't get implemented as a rename as much as it does a DROP and ADD which will affect the data in a surprising way :-D
> If the concept of energy conservation does not apply to the entire Universe, then we must ask where the additional energy created comes from or is removed.

No, we musn't, because the reason why the concept of energy conservation does not apply to the entire universe is that there is no well-defined concept of "energy of the universe as a whole" to begin with. So you can't even frame a well-defined question about whether this thing that doesn't exist is conserved or not.

> the collapsing Universe followed by the expanding Universe loop ties everything up nicely (cyclic model [1]).

This is a speculative model which at present has no evidence that favors it over our best current model. Of course we might discover more evidence in the future that would change that. If that did happen in future, then yes, we would have to reassess the "energy of the universe as a whole" question as well. I am not familiar enough with the details of cyclic models to know whether there is a well-defined "energy of the universe as a whole" in them or not.
For terminal emulators comparisons at least the metrics used are latency and throughput. Now those plus times to do operations (load file, search & replace, etc) wouldn't surprise me to be the comparison metrics for text editors. FPS though feels weird.

I dont think "nuclear sponge" is a real concept that dates to the Cold War. Can you provide a reference? In a quick search, I just found poorly written and recent articles that just link to each other.

Rather, the silo fields were dispersed to get out of range of sub launched missiles or soviet ICBMs that would go over the N pole, which is why some of them are very close to the Mexican border in NM (like the Titan IIs around Roswell). Of course, potential modern Russian ICBMs that have the range to go over the South Pole negate this defense and also any midrange ABM interception possibilities.

I also suspect that silo locations were an early example of Congressional pork. Or, just located next to exiting SAC bases for logistical reasons, like Beale AFB in northern California.

That's true, I understood his comment more like he wants automatic updates about how well-maintained a specific trail is.
In all fairness, and I already knew what Zed was, the About page is a long read to find out anything more than that Zed is an editor. (As in, it says right away that they are building an editor, but then there is a long-winded discussion about history, goals, etc.)
They have older CPUs, that consume more power, support limited RAM, and have power supplies that may fail anytime.
> Uh, come the 90s, Bridge to Terabithia was a required reading book that I don't think anyone my age cared about.

Exactly. It's a book adults think kids should read (because literature or whatever), not a book that kids actually care a rip about reading.
Would like to see pgvector included. If I can keep data in pg… I will.
Pytorch actually has surprisingly good support for Apple Silicon. Occasionally an operation needs to use CPU fallback but many applications are able to run inference entirely off of the CPU cores.
I'm one of those million as I installed it last week and I've been impressed with it and podman as a whole.

Just today I piped a cross-platform image from my M2 Mac running podman to an amd64 Linux server running Docker today and it just worked. So far it's been a viable alternative to begging for a Docker license.
Eh, in the US case it quite often involves "Think of the corporate profits!" versus "Think of the corporate profits of the lowest bidder!"

Of course there is also that the US is caught up in car culture so we massively overbuild infrastructure and end up paying trillions for it later.
Yes. On Linux there are methods to put VPN in a namespace and thus avoid the issue.

How often do other industries relicense? How often would you propose relicensing for programming jobs?

My concern would be skill atrophy between relicensing and then you'd still want to do the same sorts of interviews.
At some level people are just going to have to accept negative changes in order to move away from carbon.

Prob beacuse they are like super-behind in the cloud space, it is not like they wouldn't like to sell the service. They ignored photos privacy quite a few times in the icloud.
How is RCS a win on the privacy front? It's not even e2e encrypted in an interoperable way (Google implementation is proprietary).
Yeah, that's definitely a thing. Podman specifically eats a lot.
I like to think back to 2011 and paraphrase what people were saying:
"Is anyone seriously using gpu hardware to write nl translation software at the moment?"

"No, we should be use cheap commodity abundantly available cpus and orchestrate then behind cloud magic to write our nl translation apps"

or maybe "no we should build purpose built high performance computing hardware to write our nl translation apps"

Or perhaps in the early 70s "is anyone seriously considering personal computer hardware to ...". "no, we should just buy IBM mainframes ..."

I don't know. Im probably super biased. I like the idea of all this training work breaking the shackles of cloud/mainframe/servers/off-end-user-device and migrating to run on peoples devices. It feels "democratic".
>> And with AI features in iPadOS like Live Captions for real-time audio captions, and Visual Look Up, which identifies objects in video and photos, the new iPad Pro allows users to accomplish amazing AI tasks quickly and on device.
iPad Pro with M4 can easily isolate a subject from its background throughout a 4K video in Final Cut Pro with just a tap, and can automatically create musical notation in real time in StaffPad by simply listening to someone play the piano. And inference workloads can be done efficiently and privately...

These are really great uses of AI hardware. All of them benefit the user, where many of the other companies doing AI are somehow trying to benefit themselves. AI as a feature vs AI as a service or hook.
There are no computers in that 1960s launch control center. It's all hard-wired.

> and then finally an interview with David Fullerton and Joel Spolsky

Joel Spolsky wrote the book on interviewing a software engineer: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/06/05/smart-and-gets-thi...

The book is a fun read, but it's easy to miss a very critical detail: A coding interview is supposed to demonstrate that a candidate is comfortable coding, not that a candidate can wrote memorize XYZ algorithm, or read your mind well enough to care about the corner cases that you care about.

I always give a lot of hints, and focus on that "we're having a discussion about code" when I interview a candidate. I don't expect a 100% right answer the first time, but I do expect a candidate to have a certain degree of intuition about how to program a computer.

Simply put: historical artifact and we want to own the stack. Zed was first created when these abstractions where a lot younger, and a text editor needs certain features, like IME support, that weren't as common back then. Further, owning the stack we're built on gives us the flexibility to change the framework whenever and however we want, which we value more than the additional work it takes to re-implement things ourselves.

I wish there was a simple and cheap off the shelf home server that could do this for laypeople, and backup photos etc. without relying on Google or Apple, but it doesn't really exist. Synology and QNAP and such get close, but they're still pricey and their backup options are limited. I've had Synology, and the big problem there was that each upgrade erased my photo database and albums and invalidated all of the links I sent out. It's pointless to rely on these.
What makes you say they don't even code? In my experience coding is indeed drastically reduced, but high level ICs still regularly code.
I am using 2TB for now. Google One annual is €99.99/year while B2 would cost $6x2x12=$144 ~= €134 .

Well it hurts the efficiency of both when people have to spend 2+ hours of every work day commuting.
Well I think it depends on the situation. If you're trying to post something they have already built good defenses against (e.g. child porn, or maybe mocking the king of Thailand), you'd probably have better luck with the handbills, but then you'd also have a better chance of getting arrested. If you are posting something that isn't automatically suppressed, I bet social media would still get you more reach.

You're missing the third option however. Start your own blog, then just post links on all of the major social medias, and especially on some of the minor ones. Once your link hits the right Signal groups or Truth Social followers or whatever, it will fly around way faster than any samizdat ever could.
I agree. Looking back at my own reading as a kid, I worked my way through the "age appropriate" material really quickly, in part, because those books simply weren't that interesting. They were more about learning to read. Once I got through those kids books (and I saw them as kids books even when I was a kid), I moved to "adult" books as soon as I could because they are better novels, and I could tell that right away, with more complex stories, better characterization, better prose, different settings, and a real sense of scale and ambition.

A lot of it comes down to context: my parents were and remain voracious readers. They read all the time and have strong opinions about books, and I wanted to read what they did and have strong opinions about books in the way that they do. That sensibility was something they taught and which I grew up in. I could just as well see the absence of that having an effect.
Repealing Glass-Steagall definitely had something to do with 2008, because it allowed the same business to be both an investment and a retail bank.

I only heard this from a south African, so consider this hearsay, but prices of energy from private providers is not only cheaper, but the energy is actually available and not subjected to constant blackouts. Problem is, the governments since Mandela have used the state energy provider as a cash cow and are actively hampering any kind of modernization and/or private alternatives.

Here's what nobody wants to admit: Software development is probably 10% engineering, 20% science, 20% putting blocks into holes ("when MICROSERVICE apply KAFKA"), and 50% arts & crafts. And we're just testing for the blocks-in-holes part.
You know, it's always kind of bothered me that we constantly run into these "it's far too soon to say whether the proof is correct" issues. They're proofs. It should be apparent whether they are correct. Otherwise, are they really proof? As a layman who's only familiar with Hilbert's work as it pertains to Godel and CS, I'm curious what makes expressing these proofs using some sort of formal logic so difficult.
